  • PL/SQL and APEX Development
  • Database Design
  • Oracle Database Administration
  • Performance Tuning
  • Watch This Space (hint: Python)

Specialties

What makes me stand out...

  • Bringing DBA knowledge into a development role. I understand how to build-in performance and reliability.
  • Knowing which PL/SQL features to use. It's about good design and knowing the power of SQL first and foremost.
  • Intuition. Having a sixth-sense to identity issues before they're issues!
  • Sharing the knowledge. I'm happy to share, teach and document everything.
  • Tenacity. There is always a solution.
